On this exhibition, Sosunova continues her collection of works impressed by the non secular teachings of the founding father of Senukai {hardware} shops. These teachings have been a guiding pressure for the enterprise since its inception. By fan fiction, the artist seeks to unlock the tensions, passions, and frustrations that come up between energy and religion, encoded in rituals and hidden beneath the guarantees of DIY self-actualization.
Fan fiction not often adheres strictly to its supply materials. As an alternative, it usually takes radical artistic liberties, deciphering its inspiration by various genres reminiscent of comics, literary fiction, novice cinema, and even pornography. On this case, Sosunova attracts inspiration from the Lithuanian entrepreneur’s non secular philosophies, shared by his books, radio programme, and the symbolic imagery related to Senukai. The ensuing works—comprising a sculptural set up and a video piece—mix the aesthetics of indie cinema with digital terrains, observational footage, and the ecstatic confession of a lonely follower.
Based on Sosunova, the exhibition serves as a farewell music to a type of capitalism her era grew up with. By revisiting the transformations of the latest many years, she gives a lens by which to view the modern panorama of technofeudalism—a world formed by new unicorns and fully completely different modern-day prophets.
Her works have been exhibited at main biennials, together with Gwangju, Kaunas, and Lyon, and at main artwork areas in international locations reminiscent of Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Poland, the USA, the UK, and Lithuania. Between 2023 and 2024, Sosunova introduced solo exhibitions at Editorial (Vilnius), Galeria Arsenał (Białystok), and eastcontemporary (Milan).
